Taito has released a free iPhone app that allows users to create Space Invaders-themed virtual business cards and trade them with other iPhoners. The app lets you choose your invader sprite and color, add whichever personal details you’d like to the card, and even recommend a Taito iPhone title in the corner of the card. Then you trade cards wirelessly by sliding the image toward the recipient.
I’m looking forward to handing out lots of Invader cards to other nerds at E3. I’ll pretend I like them because the virtual card system is greener than distributing paper, but mostly I like them because of a combination of goofy gimmickry and having pictures of Space Invaders on them. Considering that not everyone will have an iPhone and this app, I’m sure I’ll still have plenty of excuses to brandish the Spelunker card case.
